Notes

'Cecelia' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Cecelia') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Cecelia is a green butterhead lettuce that suits indoor production. It grows at a rapid rate and has an erect habit.

Pairs well with Giant Nobel spinach, Giant of Italy parsley, and Persian basil.
